The o-ring isn't broken down with its own part number.  Though from what you describe you know this already.

I've replaced one using a generic o-ring from a o-ring assortment kit.  It worked and has for several years now.  I might have just gotten lucky as have heard nor read of anyone else finding anything that fit.

If you hit an auto parts store and look through their o-ring assortment offerings stored behind the counter be careful of one thing though.  Not all o-rings will survive against modern fuels.  There are different types of o-ring material.  Ask them if the o-ring they are pulling the kit from is good for fuels.

And if after a few uses of the coupler it still leaks it'll be time to replace the coupler.  If it hasn't been done in awhile that'll be a good time to replace the fuel filter also.  At least you'll feel like you're accomplishing something extra and worthwhile for the effort.

REPLACED PLUGS AND WIRES.??
 

Are you saying you did replace plugs and wires or asking if you should?

Plugs likely replaced somewhat regularly.  Wires don't get it as often though.  So....  Bike is 10+ years old.  Failing wires will (sometimes) cut out under a load while seeming to behave ok the rest of the time.  At that age they are questionable just because of age.
